RE:       Minor Change Approval to existing Decision Notice
          Council DA Reference: Material Change of Use 2005/307

Dear Sir/Madam,

On behalf of our client, we request Council to consider the following justification for a proposed minor
change to the existing approved plans and decision notice at the above address.

The proposed amendment (alteration) to the existing dwelling house will include a proposed lift and
associated shaft. A portion of the existing drying yard will be altered to make space for the proposed
lift. The proposal will improve the useability of the existing dwelling house to allow access to and from
the ground floor to first floor. The proposal is requested to improve usability and functionality and will
not impact on the adjoining lots or the existing Material Change of Use (Development Permit) approval
for the dwelling Houe in a sand dune problem area.

      -   The proposal meets the definition of ‘minor change’ to a development approval under
          Schedule 2 of the Planning Act 2016:
      •   This change is not and does not result in a different development.
      •   The change would not cause prohibited development.
      •   No referral agency required.
      •   No public notification required.

      -   The proposed change is not considered a ‘substantially different development’ as outlined
          under the Development Assessment Rules version 1.2:
      •   The minor change does not result in a substantially different development.
      •   Development is not resulting in a new use, new parcel of land, change in built form, impact
          on traffic or increased impact on neighbours or infrastructure.

In our opinion the concession is minor and the proposed complies with the intent of the existing
approval. The proposed addition will not create overlooking issues. The proposed remains in keeping
with the character of the duplex development. The proposed deck would not impact on the
stormwater easement.

I trust this information is sufficient for you to support the proposed design. Should you require further
information, please do not hesitate to contact me on the office numbers indicated above.

Yours faithfully,
Suncoast Building Approvals
